Popcorn at the movies is super expensive. The mark-up is something like 2000% of the cost. Here's how to make homemade popcorn on the stove for 1/20 of the price. Recipe below.
Recipe:
1/2 Cup of Popcorn Kernels
2 Tablespoons of Oil
1 Teaspoon of Salt
2 Tablespoons of Butter
Spice Mixture:
1 teaspoon of Onion Powder
1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon of Paprika
1 teaspoon of Salt
1 Teaspoon of Brown Sugar
Turn pan or pot on high heat. Add two tablespoons of Oil and heat for a few minutes just before smoking. Test to see if the oil is hot by adding 1 kernel and see if it's bubbles in the pan. If it is, add the rest of the popcorn.
When you hear the first kernel pop, bring the heat down to medium. Continue to move the pan around on the stove to move unpopped kernels to the bottom and avoid burning. When kernels stop popping for more than 4 seconds, turn off the heat and add butter and spice mixture.
For the butter and spice mixture, microwave butter for 40 seconds or till melted. Add spices to butter and pour onto your popcorn evenly.
